Relase builds

There are 2 different release builds for download:

• framework-dependent -> Smaller size (301 KB), but requires an installed .NET 6 runtime.
• self-contained -> Larger size (143 MB), but will run on its own (not requires a .NET 6 runtime).

Both release builds are published for win-x64 as target platform, since 64-bit Windows is supported only. Choose one of them, depending on your needs (if you have .NET 6 installed on your machine, or not). Download it, extract the zip file into some folder and start the exe file, to run WAUZ.

WAUZ 1.0.1 (by MBODM 2022-12-03)

Release notes:

• Added UI hyperlinks to open the selected folders in Explorer.
• Added temp folder cleanup mechanism. Background: WAUZ creates some temporary cache folders, inside the user´s temp folder, when unzipping the files. Normally those folders are removed when the unzipping finishes. But if the user close the application while unzipping is still in progress, it may happen that some of the cache folders are not removed. The technical reason behind this is the parallel unzip concept of WAUZ. The newly added cleanup mechanism now checks for old WAUZ cache folders and remove them if existing. The cleanup check runs automatically before unzipping. This means: Whenever there are leftover folders in the user´s temp folder, they exist no longer than till the moment when the application is used next time to unzip files.
• Fixed the following behaviour: Missing or wrong selected folder leads to "Error occurred" UI status text.
  New behaviour: Show error, but not change UI status text.
• Adjusted TextBox placeholder text, shown when TextBox is empty.
• Increased version number of BusinessLogic assembly and UI application executable.

Relase builds:

• Framework-dependent: Smaller in size (273 KB), but requires a .NET 6 framework runtime installed on your machine.
• Self-contained: Bigger in size (143 MB), but will run on its own (not requires an installed .NET 6 framework runtime).
